- Abstract
The authors describe an embolization technique that allows safe, controllable exclusion of complex vascular pathologies using a single vascular access and 2 microcatheters. This technique is particularly useful in situations where high flow increases the risk of coil migration and nontarget embolization and in large aneurysms. It affords precise placement and repositioning of coils. This method was used to treat patients with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, renal arteriovenous fistulae and aneurysms, visceral arterial aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, an aortic pseudoaneurysm, and occlusion of native parent vessels. The technique facilitated safe and successful endovascular closure in all cases.
